Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The method of frequency is best used for events where historical data or past occurrences can provide a basis for predicting future outcomes. The probability of it raining tomorrow can be estimated based on historical weather patterns and occurrences, making it suitable for the method of frequency. Other options involve theoretical probability calculations based on the structure of the game or event, not historical frequencies.
